Classic rock and jazz will come together today when the One O’Clock Lab Band plays music from the Rolling Stones.

The lab band will have its 50th Annual Fall Concert at 8 tonight featuring music by the Stones with guest artists Bernard Fowler and Tim Ries.

“You take the Rolling Stones music that you don’t think of as jazz music, and then to do jazz arrangements of it is kind of what jazz artists have been doing all along,” said Steve Wiest, a music professor, the lab band’s director and a Grammy-nominated arranger. “They took Broadway tunes and pop tunes and did jazz versions. That’s what Tim has done with the Stones music.”

The band will perform pieces including those written by student composers and then feature jazz renditions of Stones music with Ries and Fowler. Those songs might include “Satisfaction,” “Under My Thumb,” “Lady Jane” and “Wild Horses.”

Ries, a UNT alumnus and close friend of Wiest, has worked with many artists within the jazz genre and has performed and recorded with the Stones, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Tony Bennett. Wiest said Ries came up with the idea to compose a jazz rendition of the music.

Fowler, an American composer and vocalist, is a backup singer for the Stones and a lead singer in many groups. Wiest said Fowler has been working with Ries as the vocalist for his arrangements.

“He’s a very experienced, wonderful singer,” Wiest said. “Tim has been collaborating with him for a while, so he wanted to bring him for this concert as well.”

Within the last 40 years, the band’s albums have been nomi-nated for six Grammy Awards. The band has also toured around the world.

Mark Dehertogh, a jazz studies graduate student and saxo-phonist in the band, is happy to be a part of this concert.

With the holiday season fast approaching, the Student Government Association is trying to help local children enjoy a merry Christmas.

The association has part-nered with the Lewisville Salvation Army for the project. Three paper Christmas trees and thin paper strips hung in the SGA’s office represent the needs of children. Each paper bears an underprivileged child’s name and two items they would like for Christmas: something they need, such as clothing, and something they want, such as toys.

“When I wanted to do a Christmas philanthropy, the first thing that popped into my mind was Angel Tree,” said Ciara Tristan, director of lead-ership and development for the SGA.

This is the second year the group has created an Angel Tree. Tristan, who organized the project, said she wanted to keep the tradition going.

The Angel Tree program is a national event supported by the Salvation Army, but, Tristan said, any organization can participate.

Tristan said she felt strongly about making those children’s wishes come true.

“These are little kids and they see Christmas, but they don’t get to experience it like everyone else,” Tristan said. “When you’re picking that angel up, what you’re getting that child might be all that they’re getting.”

The SGA received 35 angels to put on the tree from the Salvation Army. Ten were gone in the first day, Tristan said.

SGA, Salvation Army ful� ll children’s wishes

Mercedes Fulbright, vice president of the SGA, said the project helps people in the asso-ciation and other departments on campus come together to help children in the Denton and Lewisville area.

The SGA is the student-led governmental body of UNT.

Because the Salvation Army is such a large, well-known orga-nization, Fulbright said, the SGA hopes it will help draw people in to participate in the project. Furthermore, she said, it helps display the group’s commitment to helping the community.

“It shows that we are about

service and that we can help the Denton community,” she said.

Anyone can take one of the angels, and the trees have drawn the support of students and UNT employees.

One of them is Amy Fuller, administrative coordinator for the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities. The Angel Tree project is something she partici-pates in every year with her chil-dren, she said. Fuller said seeing a student group take on the project is a great development.

“It’s a great cause,” Fuller said. “It helps children get things they need each Christmas.”

The matchup bet ween Louisiana-Monroe and the Mean Green on Saturday resembled a game that should have been fought in a boxing ring instead of on the gridiron. Both teams traded big plays throughout the contest like thudding haymakers with knockout power.

During many points of the game, UNT found itself on the ropes, but it countered. The Warhawks were able to impose their will in the final quarter, knocking the Mean Green out for good, 49-37.

Had UNT pulled out a win, it would’ve had a .500 conference record for the first time since 2004, but instead finished 3-5.

“They made some big plays in the second half which really cata-pulted them to victory,” interim head coach Mike Canales said. “We just didn’t make the plays.”

UNT’s first two drives of the game each went inside the ULM 6-yard line, but the Mean Green failed to make the most of its early opportunities, settling for field goals on both possessions.

“You have to be able to execute that and get touchdowns,” Canales said. “Having two field goals with this team, I was nervous about because I thought they would score points. Did I think they would score 49? No.”

After trailing by a slim 1-point advantage into the second half, Monroe put the Mean Green on its heels, setting off an exquisite offensive showcase for the 8,905 fans at Malone Stadium.

Warhawks vs. Mean Green ends in KO

Junior running back Lance Dunbar rushed for 134 yards in the loss to Louisiana-Monroe. The Mean Green takes on Kansas State at 3 p.m. Saturday in its � nal game at Fouts Field.

ULM outscored UNT 28-10 in the second half, putting up 21 of those points in the fourth quarter.

“We have to play complete football, especially on the road,” redshirt sophomore quarterback Riley Dodge said. “Monroe’s a good football team. They took advantage of some stuff.”

UNT entered the contest with the second-best run defense in the Sun Belt Conference, allowing an average 161.3 rushing yards per game.

Led by running back Frank Goodin, who rushed for 75 yards and one touchdown, ULM racked up 233 yards on the ground. The Mean Green is 0-5 when it is outgained on the ground.

“Their offense, they can run,

they can pass,” senior defensive lineman Kelvin Jackson said.

Junior running back Lance Dunbar continued his stretch of impressive performances, rushing for 134 yards on 19 carries. Dunbar picked up 83 of those yards on a touchdown run on UNT’s first play of the second quarter. It was the longest rush of Dunbar’s career.

The night’s highlight came in the second quarter, when freshman wide receiver Brelan Chancellor returned a kickoff 91 yards for the touchdown. The return snapped a 143-game streak since UNT had returned a kickoff for a touchdown. The last time it occurred was in 1998, when Broderick McGrew returned a kick 100 yards against Utah State.

ULM quarterback Kolton

Browning was the catalyst for the Warhawks offense, throwing five touchdowns to four different receivers. Browning had 320 yards of total offense.

His main target was Luther Ambrose, who had seven catches for 140 yards and two touchdowns. It was the first time the Mean Green had allowed an opponent to have at least 100 yards receiving all season.

The Mean Green will turn its attention to Kansas State on Saturday. The Wildcats will come to Denton to play in the final game at Fouts Field.

A mass exodus from campus will happen Wednesday when students pack their cars and scatter up and down Interstate Highway-35 to visit family for Thanksgiving.

However, not all of them will leave. Many students plan to spend the holiday right here in Denton.

“I don’t have to be at home to feel like I’m with my family,” said Francesca Martinez, an English junior. “It doesn’t feel like I’m missing out on some-thing.”

Martinez said she has never gone home for Thanksgiving and will stay to work. She plans to celebrate by making a pumpkin pie, her seasonal favorite.

To stay over the break, students who live in UNT Housing must sign up at their dorm’s front desk for safety reasons above all else, said Sharon Miller, a ResLife coordinator.

A resident assistant will be on call for each building during the break, Miller said.

“It’s very low-key during Thanksgiving,” Miller said. “We just try to make sure we’re meeting their needs.”

Some students, like history senior Maggie Howard, are choosing to stay on campus for schoolwork.

“I’m taking the GRE this

week, so I feel like it’d be in my best interest to take the week off,” she said.

Howard plans to spend Thanksgiving Day with friends and is looking forward to it.

Laila Kteily-O’Sullivan of the music faculty and her husband always open their home for Thanksgiv ing dinner to students who choose to remain on campus.

“It’s a natural extension of what I’m doing here,” O’Sullivan said. “I can’t imagine being a mom and not knowing if my child has a place to go during Thanksgiving.”

O’Sullivan has seven children and said it’s often a learning experience for all involved.

“Usually you’re talking about students who are from far away,” O’Sullivan said. “I think it’s important my kids are exposed to different cultures.”

Mihaela Culjak, a music grad-uate student from Croatia, will spend Thanksgiving with her American boyfriend and isn’t looking forward to the cuisine.

“I have to cook American food,” Culjak said. “I’ve never done that before in my life. And I’m vegan!”

Students can also attend a community Thanksgiving dinner sponsored by The Village Church.

The tradition began 24 years ago so international students would have a place to eat for the holidays. It has since become community-wide, said Joe Ader, the missions pastor of the church.

Ader said 500 people have volunteered to help prepare and serve 1,000 meals for the commu-nity.

Preparing to face the No. 6 team in the country out of the Big 12 Conference with a 61-game home winning streak, the UNT men’s basketball team knew its third game this season wouldn’t be easy.

Down only 9 points at half-time, the wheels came off in the second half for the Mean Green (2-1), which suffered its first loss in a 93-60 defeat to perennial powerhouse Kansas Jayhawks (3-0) on Friday.

“They’re one of the top 10 teams in the country and they have great tradition there,” said head coach Johnny Jones. “We always tell our guys this is a journey and this [is] only one stop on the way to where we want to get.”

A 7-0 run by UNT before half-time cut the Kansas lead to 36-27 at the break, but junior forward Markieff Morris led a 31-8 Kansas explosion to start the second half. The Jayhawks never looked back.

“Coach [Bill] Self told us during the week it would be a big win, so it was nice,” Morris said. “He just told us, ‘Good job,’ and that we did a better job in the second half.”

The Jayhawks defense stifled UNT all game, holding it to 42 percent shooting.

“I think their defense really carried them today,” senior guard Josh White said. “They’re a very long team and very athletic.”

Sen ior g ua rd Tr ista n Thompson led the way with 14 points on 6-15 shooting. Senior

guard Dominique Johnson finished with 11 while White added 10.

RiceThe Mean Green will try

to bounce back against Texas competition when it hosts Rice University at 7 tonight at the Super Pit.

“It’s a team we’ve played many times and know well enough to have a good idea of what to expect,” Jones said. “They’ve played us tough the last couple years, so it will be a good chal-lenge for our guys.”

Fans can expect a close contest, with five of the last six meetings and each of the last four being decided by 2 points or fewer.

“We have so many guys who have enough experience to play their best in tight games, and that’s what we anticipate against Rice,” White said.

This will be the 12th meeting between the Owls and Mean Green and the first time Rice will visit the Super Pit. UNT owns an 8-3 edge all-time and has won the last three contests.

The UNT volleyball team couldn’t roll past its top-seeded opponent Friday, ending its stellar season against the future tournament champion.

No. 1 Middle Tennessee (28-5, 15-1) knocked off the No. 5 Mean Green (20-13, 11-5) in four sets (17-25, 15-25, 25-23, 21-25) in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament semifinal round Friday. The Blue Raiders advanced to the championship round against No. 2 Western Kentucky and won 3-1 for their second consecutive tourna-ment title. MTSU secured the Sun Belt’s automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament with the victory.

UNT had advanced to the semifinal round after elimi-nating No. 4 Arkansas State on a 3-0 sweep in the quarterfinals Thursday.

“It was a great season to end on,” senior outside hitter Brittani Youman said. “We’ve worked so hard and we’ve done so much to change this program.”

Middle Tennessee vs. UNTThe Blue Raiders took off

early in the first set and led by as many as 9 points, forcing UNT to use its two timeouts. MTSU never looked back or took a timeout, capitalizing on .387 hitting and holding the Mean Green to .111.

“In the first two sets, we weren’t as clean as we would’ve been in the past,” Youman said.

The second set looked similar as the Blue Raiders cruised

through, shutting down the Mean Green attack on .029 hitting.

“Having a break between [sets] two and three helped,” head coach Ken Murczek said. “We get a 10-minute break. I think that helped calm the nerves.”

UNT retaliated in the third, avoiding an MTSU sweep with a slim 25-23 victory. The set was constantly tied, but the Mean Green broke away from a tie at 19 after a kill from junior outside hitter Lacy Reasons.

“We turned up the volume because at that point we had nothing to lose,” Youman said.

The rally didn’t last for the Mean Green as MTSU escaped a single-digit tie to end the match in four sets. The Blue Raiders’ total hitting percentage of .301 more than doubled the Mean Green’s .138.

“I don’t think we handled the ball as well as we had been, at least not the way [we did] the night before,” Murczek said. “We got pretty predictable.”

Sophomore middle blocker Rachelle Wilson commanded the Mean Green attack, registering 16 kills on a .417 hitting percentage — one of her best offensive perfor-mances. First team All-SBC senior outside hitter Amy Huddleston

added 11. Second team All-SBC junior setter Kayla Saey finished her season with a match-high 42 assists, and junior defensive specialist Sarah Willey’s 16 digs led the UNT defense.

Squad RecognitionThe 2010 Mean Green campaign

was one of the best in school history. The team reached 20 wins last week, becoming the fifth squad in the program’s history to do so and the first to accom-plish the 20-win tally since 2006. UNT had also only reached the SBC Tournament semifinals twice before this season.

The campaign was also the first under head coach Ken Murczek, who was hired in January.

“We’re definitely heading in the right direction,” Murczek said. “It would’ve been great to win that match and make it to the tourna-ment finals, but I think it paved the way for the nerves. It won’t be completely new to us next year.”

Murczek recently signed four All-America standouts and will lose four seniors to graduation.

The team now takes a break until January.

“They’ll meet with our strength and conditioning coach after New Year’s,” Murczek said. “We’ll have a six-week season in March and try to get faster and stronger.”

“We’ve done so much to change this program.”

Tipoff is at 7 p.m. from the Super Pit.

Dumpster diving across campus, four women collected recycled bottles to make a plastic waterfall for a class project.

Clear plastic bottles gleamed down the Art Building’s stair-well last week, giving the effect of a waterfall pouring from the top floor.

Bruce Nacke of the art design faculty assigned students to create a project that would enhance daylight inside the stairwells for a interior design topics class.

There were six different groups, each adding its own defining feature to the assign-ment. Some students cut paper and shaped it into feathers and leaves. Madiha Latif, Amanda Moss, Vanessa Weidner and Robyn Nicholson created the plastic bottle project.

They focused on gathering recycled items.

“We went Dumpster diving,” said Latif, an interior design senior. “All the bottles we collected were from campus, so we know which buildings don’t have recycling. Some were disgusting.”

The assignment was open to

anything the students wanted to use and do as long as it met the goal of improving daylight since the stairwell areas tend to be darker, Nacke said.

It took the women about three days to put the project together.

The bott les were recy-cled and the reflecting paper and poster board came from previous projects. The only things they purchased were aluminum foil and fencing grid, Latif said.

They cut the bottles to look like flowers and used a reflector next to a window in the top floor to help shine light down-wards to hit the aluminum foil and bottles.

“I’m pa ssionate about creating beautiful safe places. I wanted to do this since I was 7, and I have a lot of architects in the family who do the exte-rior. I wanted to do interior,” Moss said.

Weidner said the project was like a puzzle.

Nacke intends to start a class for anyone interested in the subject, not just interior design majors.

Getting people who are electrical engineers, writers,

chemists, anthropologists, or even business majors would be interesting and fun since they would have different perspec-

tives, Nacke said. “Everyone works with teams

in the work field,” Nacke said.Shannon Pyle, an elementary

education junior, thought the walk upstairs was a different experience because of the bottles’ presence.

“I think it seems so simple, but there’s a lot to it,” Pyle said. “I can go upstairs and there’s more to look at. It’s really neat.”

From trips to theater shows around the Dallas-Fort Worth area to audition workshops, University Players comes full circle, providing students with an outlet for self-expression.

Created in 1979, the student-based nonprofit organization serves all aspects of the theater community. Meetings are free,

open to everyone and held at 5 p.m. every other Wednesday in Radio, TV, Film & Performing Arts Building 127.

“We aren’t just an organi-zation for one specific thing,” said Bloo Rodriguez, presi-dent of University Players and a theatre senior. “We want to lead people to have a very culturally diverse back-ground.”

Dynamics of DramaticsUniversity Players has three

goals: involvement in campus activities, serving the commu-nity and improving students’ theater skills, Rodriguez said.

“We give students a place where they can come and express themselves,” he said. “There are so many facets of theater that it opens itself to a wide variety of students.”

More than 15 members make up the group. The only require-ment is attending meetings and events, Rodriguez said.

Throughout the year, the organization has hosted events including monologue and spoken-poetry performances, Rodriguez said.

Amanda Breaz, an UNT alumna and former officer for the group, said her favorite orga-nization activity was Children University Players, or CUPS.

The group invites students from local elementary schools to workshops and teaches them about theater, she said.

“We try to inspire the youth to fall in love with the same passion we have and getting them to think on their feet,” Breaz said.

The biggest challenge for the group is funding. Fundraisers, requests to Eagle’s Nest and out-of-pocket donations are some of the ways the group gets money, Rodriguez said.

On Dec. 1, the University

Players will host Inglorious Artist, an event for members to showcase their talents in various presentations like short skits, Rodriguez said.

“For some, they might not get a chance to perform on the university stage,” he said. “This provides that outlet for them.”

Personal PerformancesJessica Dunkley, a theatre

freshman, joined University Players this semester because she was looking for more campus activities, she said.

“I found a family,” she said. “We all get along great and they’re there to help you grow as a person.”

Dunkley said she encour-ages all freshmen searching for a place to call home to join the group.

The organization prepared Breaz for theater after college.

“UP hosts a lot of really bene-ficial events to students,” she said. “You use those skills and take them with you into the

professional world.”Kirsten Jacobson, a psychology

senior, often attends University Players events. She said being around the members and watching them perform is an entertaining experience.

“They have such an extro-versive air about them and are incredibly friendly,” she said.

After Rodriguez graduates, he expects University Players to be a place for people to feel like they belong somewhere.

“If that’s all we accomplish and they feel like their art has been appreciated, then my goal has been accomplished,” he said.

Usually during fall, I get pretty excited. Things I enjoy include the playoffs in foot-ball, the start of basketball season, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Over the past few years, we have been pretty frustrated. The joy and cheer of the two holidays are slowly being sapped away as they become more about material things instead of their true mean-ings.

But what makes me mad this year is that people are starting to kick off Christmas when we have yet to celebrate Thanksgiving.

I drove through Pilot Point on Friday and saw a house with Christmas lights up. Needless to say, I almost vomited. As great as Christmas is, people need to realize that you can’t celebrate it before Thanksgiving.

There’s no reason to neglect

Turkey Day. This year, people will eat food with those close to them, talk about old times and watch the Cowboys lose another game in a disap-pointing season.

UNT put up its “holiday tree” in the University Union this past week. I’m pretty sure Thanksgiving isn’t until this Thursday. Of course, I’m sure people are more excited about Black Friday, when you can buy a plasma-screen TV for the same price as a king-size Snickers bar.

But that’s not the point. When I was little, it was under-stood that the Christmas deco-rations did not go up until Friday morning. However, some people are getting antsy and are just going ahead and blaring their Christmas music, starting the season a little too early.

Just because you are one of

those people who decide to hang up their stocking before you eat your stuffing does not mean I think less of you as a person. Yes, I may judge your ability to decipher a calendar, but that sounds like a personal problem to me.

Last time I checked, the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving episode does not come before the Christmas episode of the series. I wonder why.

And ever ybody who is selling everything from new computers to calculators is starting all of their holiday specials a bit early. I feel bad that the economy is forcing them to start their sales too soon, but nobody wants to see a car salesman don a stupid elf hat with his little elf buddies – unless that car salesman is Will Ferrell. In that case, it is perfectly okay.

When Thursday rolls around,

I’ll be with my family, playing football with my brothers and enjoying Thanksgiving.

Don’t get me wrong — I love Christmas. But if I hear about it again before Friday, I’ll knock the stuffing out of somebody.

Canales is right man for the job

Student: protests disrespect Bush

Editorial

{{{

Campus ChatWho should be the next head

coach? And why?

“Major Applewhite from University of Texas. He is one of the best recruiters

in Texas.”

“Mike Canales. He has them winning now.”

“Mike Leach from Texas Tech because he’s a

headstrong coach and that’s what our team

needs.”

Anyone driving down Interstate Highway-35 past the UNT campus can see the glorious new football stadium coming to life. Its gates will swing open at the start of the 2011 season, giving birth to the era of the Mean Green’s next head coach.

It was a little more than a month ago that Todd Dodge was relieved of his duties after a 6-37 record. Despite the class, character, heart and effort he poured into this program, Dodge could not find the same success he had during his reign as king of Texas high school football at Southlake Carroll.

Athletic director Rick Villarreal put the program into the hands of offensive coordinator Mike Canales on an interim basis while a national search for the next head coach of UNT got under way.

Many rumors have floated around as to who the next man to stalk the sidelines would be.

The Editorial Board feels that Villarreal does not need to look any farther than down the hall to see who the right man for the job is: Canales.

Canales took over a 1-6 football team that was missing 13 starters because of injury and got the players to respond. The Mean Green is 2-2 under Canales, and the offense has aver-aged 32 points per game during that stretch. Junior running back Lance Dunbar has exploded in the new offense. In the first seven games of the season, Dunbar had 512 rushing yards and five touchdowns. During the four games with Canales, Dunbar has 771 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.

Dunbar, junior defensive end Brandon Akpunku and redshirt sophomore quarterback Riley Dodge have all said adamantly they want Canales to be their head coach next season. These are three of the best players and biggest leaders on this team, and the Editorial Board feels Villarreal would be wise to listen to what they want.

The attitude and atmosphere at practice has completely changed as well. Players sprint on and off the field and in between plays, they practice in full pads and there is live hitting on the practice field again, which is evident in the team’s improved tackling during the last month.

Canales has 25 years of NCAA and NFL coaching experi-ence, and under him, five different quarterbacks have earned All-America recognition, including San Diego Charger quar-terback Phillip Rivers. Canales has coached under Norm Chow and Herm Edwards, both successful NFL head coaches. He was also the original offensive coordinator at South Florida, where he helped transform the brand-new program, which did not even have a practice field, into the No. 2 team in the nation.

But stats aside, Canales actually wants the job. He cares about the players in the locker room and will be the face of this program. He has been at each of the home basketball games, visited a local elementary school and met with several student organizations. Villarreal said he wanted someone who would be involved in the community, care about his players, put educa-tion first, win football games and help sell the program.

The Editorial Board says: Ask, and you shall receive. Mike Canales is the man for the job.

I considered it an honor to hea r former President George W. Bush speak on Wednesday night. Regardless of what political position I held during the course of his terms, it remained an opportunity to hear from a man who served our country in one of the most self less positions available in our countr y: the presidency. I was in the presence of our nation’s 43rd leader, not to mention it cost an agreeable price of, well, free.

I enjoyed listening to the speech and was shocked, as I’m sure most were, at the spunk of several individuals who considered the event an appropriate t ime to voice their personal opinions of

Mr. Bush. The following day, my amusement grew into angst as a result of the disre-spect of students, ranging in posit ions and arguments, who attended the event. I caught wind of rumors that Bush’s speech was set to last two hours, though his unease of the audience and discom-fort resulted in the speech being cut short. So here I am, hoping to win the glance of perhaps even a small frac-tion of our student body, and ask: At what point do we lay down our own animosities and opinions for the sake of respect and another’s oppor-tunity?

A f ter a demonst rat ion from the socialists at the event, Bush looked directly

at his listeners and praised free speech, then pleasantly assured us that he wasn’t bot hered by t heir d isre-spect a nd we, t he aud i-ence, shouldn’t be either. He continued sharing his experiences and hopes, but my thoughts kept drifting toward the balance between free speech and respect. This wasn’t a time for battle, this was a time to be quiet and listen.

Shouted obscenities and hurtful gestures were the best that fired-up individuals could muster toward a man who is not even our president anymore. He was not there to persuade, but to share. And we were supposed to be there to merely listen to a man who

held incredible responsibility for the better or worse of our country.

We invited Mr. Bush, we offered monetary compen-sation for his time, and then some rebu ked h i m. T he voices of a handful tainted the image of a whole. I’m emba r rassed. I f not h i ng else, I’d like to apologize to our former president, thank him for the incredible sacri-fices he made to lead us, and remind our student body of a lesson our mothers taught us in grade school: If you don’t like it, leave; but don’t ruin it for the rest of us.

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.

The objective of the game is to fi ll all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9
